6" × 6" × ½" Pressed Glass Kiln-Formed Tile

This kiln-formed glass tile has a soft, translucent clear coloration, with the exact tone shifting noticeably depending on the light. 

The tile features a beautifully detailed pressed botanical relief, with leaves, stems, a fern frond, and a prominent daisy-like flower captured directly in the glass. The raised and recessed areas create subtle variations in thickness, producing darker shadows and brighter highlights that give the surface considerable depth.

Notable characteristics:

  • Color: Clear

  • Transparency: Translucent to semi-transparent, becoming especially luminous when illuminated from behind

  • Surface: Three-dimensional pressed botanical texture with clearly defined leaves, petals, and veins

  • Texture: A combination of smooth glass and finely textured/recessed areas that beautifully catch light

  • Edges: Approximately ½-inch thick with softly rounded, organically irregular kiln-formed edges

  • Visual character: Natural, delicate, antique-botanical quality with a warm, almost sunlit meadow appearance

  • Glass details: Small bubbles and subtle variations within the glass add handmade character and visual depth

Artistic possibilities

This would be particularly striking as a botanical focal tile in a larger glass composition. Its relatively quiet yellow-green palette could serve as a luminous counterpoint to stronger colors such as cobalt, turquoise, emerald, amber, or violet.

Because the botanical relief becomes much more pronounced with directional or transmitted light, an artist could use it in a lightbox, window panel, wall installation, mosaic, or sculptural glass assembly. The floral imagery could also become the centerpiece of a nature-themed series, surrounded by complementary pressed leaves, flowers, or abstract kiln-formed pieces.

The combination of warm translucent color and dimensional botanical relief gives this tile the feel of a piece of pressed natural history preserved in glass.  It also could be a standalone artistic piece simply sitting in a window or on the mantle.
